EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts a pivotal moment during the Siege of Lathom House in Lancashire, England, which took place between 1646 and 1647. The Siege of Lathom House was a significant event during the English Civil War, with the defenders, led by the brave and resourceful Charlotte, Countess of Derby, holding out against the Parliamentarian forces for an impressive three months. In this image, the defenders of Lathom House are seen making a sortie, a daring and risky tactical move where they temporarily leave the safety of their fortified position to engage the enemy. The countess, a woman of great courage and determination, is believed to have played an active role in the defense of the house and its inhabitants. Despite their valiant efforts, the defenders were eventually forced to surrender the following year. The Siege of Lathom House was a testament to the resilience and tenacity of the people of that time, who were willing to fight for their homes and beliefs in the face of overwhelming odds. This print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of war and conflict, and serves as a reminder of the indomitable spirit of those who lived through it. The image captures the intensity and drama of the moment, with smoke rising from the battlefield and the determined expressions of the defenders as they charge out to meet the enemy. It is a powerful and evocative reminder of a pivotal moment in British history.
